the early white separatists assumed the vast amount of territory in thewould be reserved for the whitepopulation. blacks will be given a small territory, perhaps in the american south to build a so-called new africa. americans at other the time was les left unaddress. the emergence grew out of the failure of the larger white supremacist movement. white supremacists failed to establish anything resembling a mass movement in america. in the 1960's rockwell believed trends such as race riots and rising crime would lead to mayhem. they create a favorable conditions to take power. entertain the idea that his already could actually win national power by elections by 1972. rockwell fell to an assassin in 1967 and with his departure some elements of the extreme right became disillusioned with this conservative approach. andhermore the immigration nationality act of 1955 ushered in a sea change in immigration policy in the united states. populationuence the in america became more racially diverse. so the white separatist movement emerged around the 1970's. there were groups that began to reform

he is serving currently as the editor of white house history, the journal of the white house historical association. catherine is professor of history and director of the american studies program at st. joseph's university of philadelphia. she is editor of a companion to first ladies. anemic dried -- anita mcbride has contributed to one of professor sibley's most recent works. she has published extensively including books including the first lady, lawrence harding behind the tragedy and controversy and read spies in america, stolen secrets and the dawn of the cold war. susan swain is president and co-coo of c-span. she is moderator of first ladies, influence and image series. she directs programming and -- at c-span for three television networks and over a number of years has moderated and conducted on air interviews on a wide range of issues, susan tells us that she is not -- now currently covering her eighth presidential campaign. susan also heads up the publication of c-span books, the latest being first ladies. and our moderator, someone who needs no introduction but i will provide

so the white separatist movement really emerged around the 1970's. here were white supremacist groups that began to reformulate strategies. instead of trying to take over the whole country, they believed it would be more feasible to establish a relatively small, separate white nation in which only like-minded whites would reside. there is an obscure religious screed known as religious identity. that became a vehicle for white separatists. christian identity has its origin in something known as british israel is him. that first gained popularity in the 19th century in england. that the people of northwest europe are the true descendents of the tribes of israel. according to this narrative, -- through the criteria, they made their way through the caucuses mountains and eventually settled in western europe. so this sect found its way to america and metamorphosed into something known as christian identity, and leslie swift was thought to be the most important figure in the christian identity heement and in the 1960's recruited someone into the creed. crea

the white house post a lot of photos on the white house flickr page. i think people in the media don't necessarily like it, but a lot of the users out there love it because you get to see a lot behind-the-scenes. so they are putting out thousands more images than we ever put out. very selective, put out two or three photos, and that would be it. maybe once or twice a week. whereas now, with digital, i think it is a daily occurrence. it has really changed. some of the press photographers are using the iphones as the primary camera on some of the campaign trips , because it is smaller and easier to get around, but they can also post it instantly. it is a dramatic change. i know when i worked on george p bush's campaign, it was dramatically different than when i worked on the other campaigns. on other campaigns, i would shoot film, and it would be 3, 4, 5 days before i saw anything. now it is instantaneous. i actually like it now better. y.ready -- alright >> good morning. my question is, when you were traveling with the bushes, were you shooting every sin

back to the white house momentarily. the arrival of the japanese visitors from the .ast harriet lane in the blue dress. the japanese ambassadors. wonderful lights outside the white house that word -- that were taken out during the roosevelt rehab in 1902. the japanese were immensely popular in washington. people were driven mad by them. women gathered outside their windows. there said to become hysterical and huge crowds followed them wherever they went. grasp thefficult to amount of excitement they caused, both in washington and then later on a new york. things that i return to a great deal in my work is building. this is the library for the whole american people. this is the library of congress on the east front. in front of the dome of the capital. i'm interested in building methods. kids are interested, too. amause i build my works, i interested in process. to show how things are made because most people have no idea how anything is made. and in this case, made by slaves. this is deconstructed with the help of bill al

in your view should the white house have defended comey's decision-making process more? osh earned his paycheck today. he really has a tough needle to thread there. i think the tone was appropriate. he did defend comey's integrity and push back on insinuations from people like harry reid that comey is trying to affect the election outcome. there are questions about how the process was carried out. it is not the white house's job to go out and defend what the fbi does, especially if it goes against protocol. it was a gentle push under the bus there. that was measured. >> over the summer democrats were defending the fbi director. how do you square that with what's happening now? >> i'm not going to jump on the partisan bandwagon and join the bashing of director comey. we know there are a series of bad decisions that put him in this situation. i think it is incumbent upon him now after putting out the vaguely worded letter last week to follow what the clinton campaign is saying and be as transparent as possible and get the e-mails out as quickly as possible. we have seen a l

in the white house there was concern about who they can trust within the white house to be acceptingthis information and even getting people on board. we saw, some years later, there was a real lack real lack of trust of the institutional processes in the white house with the fbi security files and all these things. there was some of that. in addition to starting late, there was a not understanding, not knowing, not trusting what the institution the presidency provided to them as well. it was very difficult. 2000 was difficult, but 1992 was pretty bad as well. >> we only have time, we only have four more minutes, so if you have a question, please keep the question and answer targeted >> can i hear more about the transition team and the folks that will be stepping into the roles. you just made a point about trying to keep those separate. i'm wondering what the transition is thinking. >> the transition. >> the transition team. >> well let me distinguish very quickly, the transition team is one thing. the campaign is a different thing. in my judgment, there ought to be a lot of continui

pomp and circumstance at the white house. what the first lady is going to wear, who is going to be invited. we talked about some of the folks that came through, 400 guests. first of all, let's talk about how you decide members of congress. talk aboutn so let's members of congress. what is the approach to how they decide? which members of congress should be invited? >> the legislative affairs office is great at the white house. as toave a lot of input who should be invited. we want to make it bipartisan, the same number of republicans as democrats. you put the invitations out. a lot of members are back in their home districts, campaigning or whatever. i didn't see a lot of members. >> nancy pelosi, of course. legislative affairs has a huge role. they are trying to get as many members of congress as possible. engagementof public wants to invite folks. it is a huge amount of compromise and debate. >> many names in the media. chuck todd. gayle king of cbs. what is the rationale behind inviting the media? shop puts a lot of effort

then the white buffalo hunters came. they had decimated the herds of western canada, and now they set up shop in an abandoned trading post on the texas panhandle called adobe walls, and then resume the killing on indian reservation land. few, unfortunately, besides the indian cared. in fact, general pope's superior officer, general philip h sheridan, reveled at the slaughter. he told the legislature of texas, which actually was contemplating a buffalo conservation bill, that the buffalo hunters had "done more to settle the indian problem in two years than the army had done in 30. for the sake of lasting piece, let them kill and skin until the buffalo is exterminated." well, sheridan making these lofty pronouncements assumed the fighting spirit had left the southern plains tribes. he was wrong. at dawn on june 27, 1874, 500 warriors spilled down a steep ridge a half-mile east of adobe walls and made a -- to wipe out the despised buffalo hunters. the doors of the shack slam shut and the 29 white men battled the attackers to

the white house garden now contains tomatoes and garlic. immigrants. america is stronger because of immigrants and america is great because of immigrants. [applause] as president, i am especially grateful with my partnership with my good friend matteo renzi. he is young, handsome, put forth a vision of goodness that's not rooted in fear but rather their hopes. he knows that as nations as individuals we have the power to achieve great change. in italy he is challenging the status quo with bold reforms. he likes to tweet a lot. we also have in common the wisdom to mary remarkable women leaders in their own right who dedicated their efforts to giving children every opportunity to succeed including a good education to our sons and our daughters. i am told there is an italian saying, roughly translated, it means clear conditions lead to long friendships. constantly in the united states, the underlying conditions could not be more clear. we are united by our interests and our values. our love of liberty and commitment to the dignity of every human

the white house says they don't know what's going on with the investigation. the trump campaign certainly doesn't know and they're not making decisions. we have not seen huma on the plane today or yesterday. they're keeping her out of the spotlight for her sake probably. something we know from the hacked and released e-mails from the state department and her entire career, hillary clinton tends to be loyal to a fault, to the people she feels she can trust. a very small group of people. a lot of people in various trouble and clintons generally stay loyal to them, generally protect them, if they feel somebody had their back. clinton people that i've spoken to feel like this might hurt her chances of having a high official place in the administration, but in terms of her personal relationship with hillary clinton, that's not seeming to be in jeopardy. >> listen. hold on a second. donald trump just spoke about the fbi director comey and his decision. let me play the clip for our viewers. >> -- and i have to give the fbi credit. that was so bad what happened origin

did towhat the white man the indians." thing that is even more frequently lost in the midst of these indian wars then the question of the united resistance and intertribal conflict are the numerous tribes that actually accepted the white presence. for those of you like myself who have read "bury my heart at wounded knee," when he speaks of crow, he speaks of them as mercenaries. because they happened to side in thee government westward march of whites. they were essentially adopting the adage that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. pawnee of nebraska were vitally important to the construction of the transcontinental railroad,. you havenow if any of watched "hell on wheels" but the awnee don't get the credit on that show or anywhere else. had brought work on the union pacific line virtually to a halt. the army was incapable of catching these fast-moving, rating -- raiding bands of indians. warriorson of pawnee were recruited as regular soldiers. here is the battalion of two companies, a marvelous painting. e battalion mold

i was in the white house. member. >> and also how that affected clinton's ability to accomplish other items like health care first down the road in his first term. >> well, the clinton '92 transition was not a model transition. >> no, i agree. >> it was, however, a very useful case study. some would say object lesson. so what went wrong during the clinton transition? >> well, first of all, as i mentioned earlier, this enormous and lengthy focus on the cabinet with the white house as an after thought. that was backwards. secondly, not drawing a clear enough distinction between the campaign team and the governing team. it is always a mistake to bring your senior campaign people lock stock and barrel into the white house. third, and this gets to your point, the transition and the president elect did not do a good job of controlling the issue's narrative. president-elect clinton on november 16th of 1992, a day that will live in infamy, was asked the question based on what he would say in the campaign how he intende

then it goes back to the white house in a symbiotic relationship. this is unprecedented in the history of the pdb. it is what the cia likes. it is getting the immediate response to the premier presidential product. you'll see the harm that of the four book changes. it retains the same legal size, but after the initial effort to essays, longer events you may not have been familiar with. it does include explanatory annexes and longer essays. mainly for upcoming events or summaries of national intelligence estimates. ends drastically in 1975 when, with the campaign for 1976, the white house staff, now , decide thatcheney the president needs to spend less time on intelligence and more on winning the election. they say you should cut back on the daily briefing and just get the book delivered by brent scowcroft, the person who replaced kissinger as that role. kissinger was still the secretary of state. he talks to brent about it, he will get back with anything to say, feedback. the dci is not involved. colby stayed out as well as dci bush, when he becomes

wilson moved the day they left the white house in 1921. the home itself was built in 1916, and the wilson's acquired in december 1920, and decided to remain in washington, d.c.. is a time capsule. it basically takes us back about 100 years ago, and allows us to see the way the world was then. haveme have -- sometimes the illusion that people in history where like us, only they were dowdy clothes, or something. but actually that wilson's lived in an era when americans thought differently about themselves, about america's role in the world, when society was very different. the artifacts in this house open the door into this world, and i would like to help us do that today by looking at a couple of the artifacts, that tell the story of america's involvement with world war i. we are now almost 100 years from the date when the united states 1917.d the war, in i observed often that history is studied in arroz and ethics -- e epics, but it is lived in hours and days. this is true with world war i. we associate the sinking of the lusitania with the

the white house doesn't have information on whether it was appropriate or not. the american people are left with questions of what to believe. there is both calls on both sides of the aisle asking director comey to release more information. do you feel the american people don't have a right about this probe? they are going to be voting booths right now and next tuesday. >> this is a legitimate question for you to ask and these are the kinds of questions that are carefully considered in the didn't of justice right now. and given the institutional responsibilities that are vested here in the white house, and i just don't have a recommendation to make. it is important for them to make these decisions consistent with with their to be precise here. it is important for the officials in the department of justice and fbi to make these decisions. and the officials are given expansive authority and expansive powers to intrude on the privacy of private citizens. and that authority, is tempered by long- standing traditions and norms and guidelines that largely avoid extensiv

it is information getting to the white house. primary reform panel is kissinger came out of southeast asia. it came from the three-star serving with the south vietnamese during incursion, went back down to added one more, the joint chiefs, and then kissinger. it is remarkable to look at these ongoing reports because there is embedded optimism, this can do attitude part of the literary mindset, but they kept thinking that things would get better tomorrow. they kept that report repeatedly for the duration of the operation. the second thing that i think we pick up from this is the difficulty in picking up key information in all the noise and policy process. the stuff was in the pdb's. you could hear the small scale voices of these warnings, the new kind of enemy that they resolved to win this battle at any price, it changes your perspective, i think, in how you decide with respect to that operation. the third thing though, and it was referred to frequently as intelligence feeding into the intelligence makers important, but you are tr

i don't cover the white house, but the white house cares what the "new york times" says about the white house? does the supreme court care about what the "new york times" says about it? >> on occasion. >> good to know. >> i would like to ask a question. obama has been criticized for for the press in launching leak investigations. do you have any sense of what these candidates would be like? >> no, but that is the wary. years ago when people thought the obama administration was actually going to go after reporters criminally for leaks and they were going to start investigating, and then they kind of toned it down. i think we all thought that was .he way it was going to be and i think definitely with a donald trump, you would worry about that. i am not sure about that would hillary clinton. again, i was being diplomatic when i said it is not a priority. she clearly does not want some information. that is not even putting information out there. that is actually going after reporters. that is a huge leap. >> let me pivot over to kaite and let's talk about the obama administration's record f

here we have the first black molatto really. his mother was white. the opportunity he had to do i thought to myself was overwhelming to go to chicago, never went to chicago and told the children to stop shooting each other. i am a former new york city school teacher. i thought with this man being our president would do something for his people. he did nothing! nothing! if he wept to chicago where he came from and said look what i became, you can become what i became and that is the travesty of this president. >> remember when bill clinton went to a black church in mechanismsis on the day of martin luther king's birthday and said he didn't live or die so a 13-year-old black boy could kill an 8-year-old black boy which just happened that weekend. i think that is such a tragic waste of an opportunity. instead, he made us more race conscious than we have ever been. what he wanted was political force and use things to change the country. you are right. >> here, what an opportunity that this man had to raise up these youngsters and tell them and now we have

donald trump: "that's the way it's going to be in the white house too. she'd be sleeping, i the debate topics will include immigration, the economy, the supreme court, and fitness to be president. that last one will likely spark talk of controversies roiling both campaigns... ...including hillary clinton's e-mail and donald trump's insistence that the election is being rigged. president obama -- on the day of his final state dinner tuesday -- had harsh words for trump ahead of wednesday's debate. pres. obama: "i'd advise mr. trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes. if whenever things are going badly for you and you lose, you start blaming somebody else, then you don't have what it takes to be in this job." the nominees -- also engaging in a former republican california gubernatorial candidate now endorsing clinton... ...and also billionaire mark cuban - an outspoken critic of trump. trump -- inviting obama's kenyan-born half-brother... ...as well as the mother of a benghazi victim who has accused clinton of "murdering" her son. i'm

and as hillary said, when you have raised children in the white house like barack and hillary and i have, you are reminded every day of the impact that you have. you start seeing the images of every child in this country in the face of your child. so when people wonder how hillary keeps her composure through the overwhelming pressure of not just this campaign but of her career, or how barack and i have dealt with the glare of the national spotlight these last eight years, that's the answer. with every action we take, with every word we utter, we think about the millions of children who are watching us, who hang on to our every word, looking to us to show them who they can and should be. and that's why every day, we try to be the kind of people, the kind of leaders that your children deserve, whether you agree with our politics or not. [cheers and applause] when i think.this election, let me el you, that's what i'm thinking that. i'm asking me, what do my girls, what do adeserve in their president? what kind of president do we want for them? well, to start with, i think we want someone wh

carter, were you cold in the white house, and she said, i was so cold. she said every -- one day somebody showed me where the steam pipes were in the basement, and i would go down and hug the steam pipes just to keep warm. [laughter] and jimmy thought it was kind of interesting that a 9-year-old boy would have been interested in whether the first lady was cold or not. but those solar panels did not go to waste. a professor in a small college in maine, they had a very small budge. budget. in case you were wondering, it was unity college in maine. and they had a very small budget. he stripped down an old school bus, he went down to washington, he took those panels out of the warehouse and put them on the cafeteria at their school, and they stayed there for many, many years. they don't have -- they don't last indefinitely, but they stayed there for many years. as a result of that, boyden college in maine which has an endowment, they can study anything they want to, they began the solar energy program. and other colleges that had this much interest -- because

i'm the white hat. creamer is diabolical and i love him for it. >> last night we showed you a tape where those guys were talking about hiring mentally disturbed people to provoke violence which is exactly what happened trump rallies in chicago and california. joining us from washington katie pavlich and eboni williams. creamer has bailed out from the clinton campaign. he was working for them as a consultant. what does that tell you. >> it tells me is despicable. he should have been fired. it's horrible. i won't spend one second defending the actions of this horrible guy. >> people working for fox news say well, we don't know and it was edited. it's 40 hours. it was edited. do you believe that these guys were actively going out trying to incite violence at trump rallies? >> i wouldn't put it past him. >> there is a difference between wouldn't put it past him and believe. >> i'm a lawyer. i don't have enough evidence. i think it's absolutely possible. his own associate said he was the dark hat guy. what i

kevin cork live at the white house now. kevin, was different from the president's other speeches on obamacare. >> yeah, john. i think you're right on the money about that. in particular when you think about the fact that they're pretty open, i would say, about this notion of a public option. yeah, they're trying to figure out a way to boost up the existing affordable care act and by rolling out this idea that maybe a public option is the way to go. frankly, for those of us who have had a chance to cover this story for some time, we were kind of expecting this to happen a lot sooner than now. as you point out the president was over in the sunshine state of florida talking about the need to get more people to sign up for the affordable care act. and the president also had a statement out there today. this one issued by the white house. let me just share a little bit from that statement. it said that the president believes there are commonsense ways to continue to improve the aca. this includes working with the 19 states like

it's the call of the white house to do it. ut one other point i want to underscore, what judy and i have been talking about that donald trump complaints so much about the press did not have the scrutiny during the primary that he's having now and he is the gop presidential nominee having not gone through the kind of standard vetting that because he wasn't taking it seriously as he should have during primary. so he was only getting now what in a routine time he would have gotten further reason why he should not have no complaint about the press. john: there were predictions, judy, that that would be the case and predictions along the same lines for john mccain, john mccain was a beloved figure when he was sort of the republican maverick but once he became the nominee the press started beating up on him. >> yes, it happens when you get the nomination of your party. i think you have to expect that. now, i can remember some of the stories about john mccain that appeared on the front pages of new york times and other prominent paper
